Mille grazie

Or a thousand thanks. That's what I would like to say to the kind ladies who have shared my envelope tutorial posts with others and to the new guests who came to have a peek. Given my limited sleuthing, I know that the following list is not definitive but many thanks to (in alphabetical order):
Madex Creations
PaperFriendly
Ryemilan's Stamping & Scrapbooking
Stamping Links to Love
The Stamp Spot
They are all great blogs so please check out the ones that you didn't come from. If you were referred from somewhere else, please let me know so that I can return the favour!

Speaking of a thousand thanks, I've also felt like I've recently made a thousand thank you cards. Sadly, though, when I actually counted them, they only numbered nine. Nine - a number so small that, by convention, should be spelt out rather than be represented in arabic numerals! I really admire those with the discipline and perseverance to make hundreds of the same card. After three, I'm already itching for a new colour...after five, a new design...after seven, another family block of chocolate in a new flavour...after nine, a new existence! Skip the existence bit - life is great *grin* Not looking forward to the impact of the blocks of chocolate on the waistline though.

So, here, is the evolution of my thank you cards - dedicated to those mentioned above:
